Time is almost up from our Winter Break… and as always, it was too short. Anticipation of things that were to get done, oh such wonderful thoughts come to mind from back at the end of November… Hopes of those fun things that would be done together, a short trip here or there, a visit to family or friends; perhaps, even a party at the house with friends. Alas, like many other breaks that come and go, very little was done to really set this break apart from the rest.
As a teacher, our time is usually divided from one semester to another, one break from another, one week to the next or even a module of work to another module. In short, our time is segmented and as such, so goes our lives — living from Segment A to Segment B. How should we be living? How is it that we are always looking ahead for Segment B without wishing away Segment A? How do we get to where we live “in the moment” instead? It’s these questions and more that I hope to get answers during this writing project.
